The Shams Group has implemented our Physician/Provider Reporting Portal at Western Health to help reduce the consumption of paper and turnaround times by replacing paper distribution of LAB and RAD results, allowing all users to be able to access patient data online. Providers can also complete their medical record deficiencies online from the portal. The portal provides the facility an improved care coordination option that alerts providers of new lab results, critical lab results, abnormal lab results, and new radiology reports. This feature allows them to proactively review and add comments to the alerts for their office staff to follow up with the patient, as well as providing better and timely patient care.

We have developed an automated tool for ECHN to extract Clinical Lab results from Meditech for Aetna patients for submissions to Aetna using Post-n-Track secure web services platform. The tool extracts all clinical lab results, including Lab, Micro, Blood Bank and Pathology, creates separate files by facility, and transfer files via secure FTP on a scheduled basis to Post-n-Track.

September, 2014: Patient Portal Implemented - Conway Medical Center

Create patient lists based off demographics, labs, problems, allergies and other combinations listed. These lists can monitor high priority health conditions and patient health improving quality of care and conducting a more in-depth data analysis.

The Shams Group has implemented LOINC Code Mapping to Reportable Laboratory Results. LOINC uses a universal language to identify and send meaningful data to other providers or public health authorities, making it essential for the coordination of care.

TSG was able to handle CRMC mapping needs to meet the necessary Meaningful Use requirements. The mapping process is very complex, and by allowing us to handle these changes, this facility saved a significant amount of time, stress, and confusion.

July, 2014: ADT to Truven Health - Conway Medical Center (CMC)

The Shams group implemented our integration interface to capture patient demographics entered during the ADT process at the hospital HIS. This applies to both Meditech and non-Meditech environments.

Under DBA Consulting, we upgraded the Meditech DR server and Medisolv server from previous version of SQL to SQL 2012. During this upgrade, TSG verified that there are no incompatibilities that can occur from the upgrade. The migration was done in 8 hours.

Implemented and went Live with Patient Registration Kiosk using iPads for Central Registration. This solution allows scheduled patients to self-check-in and walk-in patients to fully register using Kiosks for Lab and Radiology services. The solution fully integrates with Meditech Admission C/S modules.

Implemented and deployed iOS, HTML and Android apps that allow consumers and conference attendees access to an internal conference hall layout of the NTBA annual conference in the Las Colinas Convention Center. Using this app, users can find directions from one booth location to another within the conference hall, as well as find a particular vendor booth using the published information directory.

Implemented the Generate Patient Lists SSRS report to create patient lists based on various conditions of demographics, labs, problems, allergies and drugs, or any combination thereof. The use of patient reporting is beneficial to monitor high-priority health conditions while conducting an in-depth data analysis, which can lead to improvements of health outcomes and healthcare values.
